Application nea Marais, i906. semi No. 305.912.

shields, Which are not yso durable and which in the course of time become sticky, hard, or brittle. v

y For this purpose my invention consists, essentially, in a shield consisting of a base of cloth, preferably Waterproofed and covered on one side With animal skin or membrane also preferably Waterproofed.

The nature of my invention will be best understoodin connection With the accompanying drawings, in Whichf Figure 1 is anelevation of a dress-shield. Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional vieWon the line 212, Fig. 1.

From the drawings it Will be seen that my improved lining or shield is made up of a base Z of cloth-such as linen, batiste, or the like-and coveredon one side with animal" skin or membranes, such as the tanned or untanned outer skin of the blind-gut or goldbeaters skin. The skin or membrane is rendered Waterproof by a thin coating of rubber r and is cemented directly to the-cloth, which preferably has also been Waterproofed by l means of a rubber solution or treatment.

The adhesion can in both cases be fixed by a subsequent vulcanizing, which may be accomplished in any known -manner, as in bringin the dress-'shield in the vapors of bisulfid o carbon. When tanned or untanned gold-beaters skin is used, it can be first cut to the shape of the dress-preserver and then secured to-the linen and thel like by means of rubber solution." Both could also be placed loosely one on the other and connected together only at the edge by cementing.

lf it be desired to cement Lthe skin to the linen, it is preferable to first treatthe skin by putting it into a strong solution of carbonate of soda and then stretching it in a frame to dryy quickly. Such skin prepared in this ary, 1906.

manner has the property of being nearly White and of retaining its color after wetting,v

&c. lt is impermeable to the rubber solvent,

so that itpresents a neat appearance. It does not become creased and can be Washed.
